Application filed February 28, 1924. Serial No. 695,736.

To o] Z y'ic/2.0m it 11mg/ Concern Be it known that I, VILLIAM S. CALLEnY, a citizen of the United States of America, residing at Wheatland, in the county of Yuba and tittateof California, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Portable Doorlocks, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to certain new and useful improvements in portable door locks adapted for association with a door jambor frame and the free swinging edge of a hinged door for holding the latter in 'a locked condition against opening movement should the usual lock mechanism of the door be released.

The primary object of the present inven# tion is to provide a portable door lockof the type above set forth and of a size capable of being conveniently carried in the pocket of a pez son or worn uponan ordinary key ring, the same being extremely simple in construction andoperation and inexpensive to manufacture.

lith the above and other objects in view that will become apparent during the course of the following description the saine consists of the novel form, combination and arrangement of parts hereinafter mote fully described, shown in the accompanying drawing and claimed.

In the drawing, wherein like reference characters designate corresponding parts throughout the several views.

.Figure 1 is a fragmentary horizontal sectional view of a door frame'and door with the new port able lock operatively positioned to prevent opening movement of the door,

Figure l is a plan view of the lock with the locking arm moved to a position overlying the plate that arries the same, and

Figure 23 is a perspective view of the lock with the locking arm moved at right 4angles to the carrying arm.

Referring more v1n detail to the accom-l panying drawing, the portable lock is associated with the door 1 thatmoves into engagement. with the jamb 2 that is chamfered at one edge thereof as at 3 to receive the swinging edge of the door as illustrated in Fig. 1. rl`he lock embodies an elongated plate t having one end thereof bent at right angles to form a pin or finger adapted for entering the bottom wall of the chamfered portion 3 of the door jamb as illust 'ated in Fig. 1. The plate l intermediate the ends thereof is provided with a struck-out lug G projecting in the same direct-ion as the finger 5, the lug G engaging the adjacent edge of the jamb molding 2 for correctly positioning the plate upon the jamb. The plate 4. adjacent the end thereof opposite the linger 5 is'bent at the point 7 to provide an angular portion 8 while the Aterminal end of the plate adjacent the bent portion 8 is bent at right. angles as at 9 to the longitudinal axis of the plate L1, the bent end 9 beingpro vided with an opening 1() to accommodate the mounting of the lock upon a keyring or other support.

A locking arm 11 has one end thereof pivotally mounted as at 'l2 upon one face of the bentV portion 8 of the plate Lt at the side thereof opposite the finger 5 and bent end 9 as shown in Fig. 3. The arm 11 flares outwardiy from the pivot point vl?. and has a transverse outer edge 13. A perpendicular wall Lt projects from the edgeof the arm 11 at its outwardly flared port-ion and merges into the arm 11 at a point spaced outwardly of the 4arm pivot. rlhe outer edge of the transverse portion of the wall 1l is notched as at 15 and is of alength veipial to the diameter ofthe plate Ll with .the plate extending into the notch when the arm is moved to a position overlying the plate as shown in Figs. 1 and 2.

The portable lock is .mounted upon the.

door jamb Q as illustrated in Fig. 1 with the locking arm 11 extended outwardly of the plate d, the' lug'G assisting in the correct positioning of the lock with respectvto the door jamb. 'The linger 5 is forced into the jamb 2 and the lug (3 is positioned outwardlv olE the molding` 2". When the door 1 has been moved to its closed position, the locking arm 11l is swung upon its pivotal mounting 12 to position the outer end thereof over the plate et with the groove 15 of the wall 14 receiving the plate Ll as shown in Fig. 1, the gropved edge 15 of the wall 14 positively retaining the locking arm in the position` shown in Fig. 1 with the outer side tt' the wall 1 5: contacting the door 1 to prevent opening` movement thereof. The door 1 is thereby held in a locked condition, and if the usual lock inechanism of the door should be released, the portable lock would still retain the door in a closed and locked 'con-.

dition. To open the door, the locking arm ll is swung to an inoperative position and is laterally displaced from the swinging llt) path of movement of the door and at which y time, the lock may be removed from the door jamb by disengaging the finger from the` `bottomwall of the chamfered portion 3 ot' While .there is herein shown and Vdescribed the 'preferred embodiment of the present invention, it is nevertheless to be understood 4that minor changes may be made therein without departing from the spir-itvand scope of the invention as claimed.

That is claimed as new is l. In a portable door lock, a plate adapted for mounting on the face of a door janib,
